flying

Airports are the newest great place to sarge.

Two weeks ago I went to Austin with friends. On the plane ride home, I sat next to the weather girl for a chicago area news station, a solid 9 tall and blond, and am taking her out now.

Ah, but lightning strikes twice. I was just in dallas for the 4th, and sat next to a norweigen girl who is also a nine. I am taking her out too.

My first thought about this, its just damn fortunate. How many flights have I been on where I'm next to fatty mcghee and farty mcfart? And what are the odds that both are single? Too cool.

So if you're wondering what I said, it goes like this...

I start with a stupid icebreaker/opener. I doubt it was needed but that's what I did. I said "so are you heading home?"

After the opener, game starts. The first thing I always do is say something not serious. It doesn't matter what. It can be something to tease her, something situational, whatever.

So for example with the weather girl I said "I just moved to milwaukee. I moved there just for the cheese,I'm on an all cheese diet."

And I'll just keep on not being serious. All I can say here is that I always get a small shit test, which is will I keep the frame or will I say "just kidding" but I know better and I always hold that frame.

Next I start peppering in stories. My stories are always serious, not joking. So serious stories, non-serious comments/one-liners. And I'll pepper in a question if she says something interesting and I want to steer the conversation.

Otherwise, I just let the conversation go, and let her see how alpha I am, and pass a couple shit tests.

Shit tests are nearly always her trying to steal the chasing frame. All I do is look her in the eye, shrug my shoulders, smile and say "I got nothin for ya" and then tell a story related vaugely to whatever topic we were on. I take control.

That always gets a flurry of ioi's.

The other thing I do is look for opportunities to escalate. I don't necesarily kino much, maybe I should, but I can see when I have an opportunity to take a step forward and I do. Start touching, throw in innuendo.

Finally my number close. The only one I ever use is "so I'll call you next week and I'll meet up with you.". I say it as a command, not a question. I don't pull out my phone, she pulls hers out first. It's a little thing, but pulling the phone out is a detail, and that's her responsibility.

Anyway, that's what works for me lately. And like janet jackson said, what have you done for me lately?

I love this response.

Of course you do Bull Run, of course. And in no way did I totally steal this line from Vin Dicarlo.

The simple fact is that I am amazing. A cut above, if you will. This is why I've hired two children to follow me around everywhere I go and sprinkle flower pedals before me as I walk to, say, the supermarket (regular markets aren't good enough for me.)

I was considering hiring someone to follow me around with a boom box playing chariots of fire on repeat, you know, so I have my own movie soundtrack. But that was over the top. You see, I want to fit in with the common folk. My best traits are after all my modesty and humble humility.

I'm bored. Why doesn't somebody post something interesting or another field report or something?

I don't like this number close anymore. It works to get the number but it sucks for the follow-up because you're stuck trying to plan a date on the phone, and it's just a clunky experience I think. There's gotta be a smoother way to do this.

I think I will go back to doing what I used to do in the day and set up a date while talking to the girl in person, unless someone has another way they can suggest.

Setting up the date while you're talking with her is much, much better IMO. The phone number should be nothing more than a verification tool. It's so much smoother and easier to just call and say..."I'm free tomorrow, I'll take you to XYZ place that we talked about the other day." OR call and say, "So, I'll pick you up at 7:30 tomorrow night..."

It's so much better than calling and asking to take her out. Also, when you're in person, when you mention places to go she'll let you know how interested she is in really seeing you again. If she's excited by what you propose, then you know she's probably not going to flake. If she's only responding in luke-warm fashion, then you know she's probably going to flake.
